Goodharts law is invoked here with no discussion. Are we sure that optimizing for minimum LOC that pass all necessary tests produces sloppy code? And: What is sloppy code anyway? If we could define it, could we throw the definition into con

The relevant word here is airgapping, not sandboxing.

I don't understand the logic of running these models this way without airgapping.

Many people share this sentiment, many people don't. Who you belong to depend on at least two things: A) How knowledgable is the AI on what you are working on, B) How well do you wield these new tools to work better than before? (Bette

I didnt inspect the rest of the code but I guess the table is fetched from L2 on every call? I think the L1 data cache is flooded by other stuff going on all the time. About dropping the interpolation: Yes you are right of course. I was thi

I experimented a bit with the code. Various tables with different datatypes. There is enough noise from the Monte Carlo to not make a difference if you use smaller data types than double or float. Even dropping interpolation worked fine, an

Did some quick calculations, and at this precision, it seems a table lookup might be able to fit in the L1 cache depending on the CPU model.

"1-bit LLMs" is just marketing. The Shannon entropy of one letter with a 3 symbol alphabet (-1, 0, 1) is 1.58.

Oo, I'd like to get a roll of these. But I live in Norway.

I guess they could model the river mathematically. I would not be surprised if there are two or more "stable" stream patterns. Perhaps it resets naturally after one year.

One of my math teachers in university always brought with him a dry sponge in a small blue bag. (a lighter sponge that you don't wet before use). Brilliant lecturer.

How come AST parsing fails? Does that imply syntax errors in the code?

Conversely, I often think about the value I add by being interruptable, by helping my colleague with something that might save him more time than I lose. Good for the company.

This I agree with completely.

Who cares if it is low effort? I got lots of upvotes for my link to Claude about this, and pncnmnp seems happy. The downvoted comment from ChatGPT was maybe a bit spammy?

Maybe one shop made these in a big city. Adventurous men bought them, brought them home and gave them to their wife. A great novelty noone has seen at home. So precious they bring them to their grave.
